I live in Charleston, SC, and am looking to buy my first property here this year.

Let's say you already used the tips above but you really want this nice yacht you've been looking at buying but you want to buy it with a loan and you only need to show $5000 more a month in income to buy it.

Buy box in that 100-250k range, single fam or small multi fam.  

I actually lent the money to the purchasers to buy the Park. 

Another question I have as it pertains to the profit calculator: Are there any calculators or resources that exist for buying and operating and/or rehabbing a hotel?

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

I actively buy real estate in Arizona.

Quote from @Fernando Martin-Gullans: Hey y’all, I’m a retail investor with 2 SFH rentals worth a combined ~$650k looking to utilize some of my stored equity to buy more out-of-state properties, but I’m not quite sure how best to proceed given that my interest rates are incredibly low (leaning me away from refinancing) and neither property is owner-occupied (which I believe prevents me from using a HELOC).

I think there were probably several of them that got up the courage to buy one or a couple of properties.

Many people don't realize that you gain as much or more net worth through debt pay-down, and while it's less liquid than cash flow, over a 5-10 yr hold period it's considerable if you buy in the right areas with the right asset class.
